Exhibited in splendid fashionable

matching “Gavroche” silk neckerchiefs
as well as luxurious extrawide
“Diva” bangles complement
these designs impeccably.
On the myth of the Sphinx…
The Sphinx is an age-old symbol of
sovereign might. The oldest known
representation is the Egyptian Great
Sphinx of Giza portrayed with the
face of Pharaoh Khafra located near
the Khafran pyramid.
The Phoenicians, Hittites and
Assyrians presented the symbol as a
winged steer or lion whose crowned
and bearded head was loftily raised.
The Egyptian Sphinx also changed
gender before migrating on to Crete,
and from the 6th century onwards it
became widespread throughout the
Greek empire.
The Sphinx is the embodiment of
mankind’s dream: to possess the
power and graceful majesty of the
lion and to be able to fly like an eagle,
while having human intellect. For
FREY WILLE it symbolizes creativity
and the power to realize this creativity
in developing unique pieces of
jewelry.
The SPHINX collection is available in
five color variations: pink; red-orange;
blue; green; and black-white.
